Why this board

Marking AQA Physics properly

Physics feedback focuses on equation selection, unit discipline and the structure of six-mark answers, the three things that separate a grade 6 from a grade 8 script. AQA mark schemes are unusually explicit about the wording that earns a mark, which is exactly where self-marking goes wrong, an answer that sounds right but misses the credited term scores zero.

Every script is read by physics teachers and examiners. You get the paper back annotated, with a topic-level percentage and an indicative grade against real boundaries, not a self-marked tick list.

FAQ

AQA Physics questions

Do you mark against the AQA mark scheme?
Yes. Every Physics script is marked against the published AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance) mark scheme for that paper, by an evaluator who specialises in the subject and knows the board's conventions.
How quickly does a AQA Physics paper come back?
48 hours from upload as standard, and 72 hours during the January and May peaks. The current turnaround is always shown before you upload.
What does the report contain?
An annotated script, marks per question, a topic-level breakdown, an indicative grade placed against published boundaries, and three prioritised next actions.
Is the marking done by a person?
Yes, physics teachers and examiners. Every mark and comment is written by a qualified human evaluator.
What does AQA Physics marking cost?
Topic tests are £7.99, real past papers £11.99 and full mocks £14.99. The first paper is free, with no card details taken.
